Weird characters displaying in Workflow Builder screen

When I go to workflow builder, there are weird characters displaying on the screen.
Some look like this: | ) `
I'm not sure what is causing this to happen.
The workflow works, but I'm not sure why this is happening.
with best regards,
Orlando

Check your SAPGUI, try to get the latest patch. Better to go for 7.10

Weird characters displayed on page instead of file download/preview

Hi everyone,
I have a download file procedure as per the instructions on the download.oracle.com page
The download of the files worked just fine (or better say they were previewed in a new page) but recently a new schema has been added to the workspace so we can start the testings from the scratch.
I modified the schema name where needed, but not the download page acts kinda weird, as instead of the file preview, I get a long page full of:
��JFIF�,,��&�Exif��MM�*��b��j(��1��r2��i��-��'�-��'Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows�2008:07:28 16:41:20��]��&(��.��%��H��H��JFIF��H�H��Adobe_CM�
The issue is that if I switch back to the old schema, the result is the same. So, anyone has any idea of what can cause this?
Thank you
Regards
Andrea

Thanks!
PS: Some updates...I tried it in IE as well (I use FF when working with applications) and funny enough the photos and documents get displayed/the download box shows up.
But, all the files have the name f. f.pdf, f.jpeg etc
I tried calling the dl_image procedure in the url (currently I call a new page where I pass the file id to an application id and then I call the above procedure in a pl/sql block):
http://www.host/pls/dad/schema.dl_file?p_fileid=1
And the name seems ok. I don't think it's a good idea to put the procedure name in the link, is it?

Weird characters displaying in Safari and Apple Mail

I have a macbook air 13in, its been working terrific for the last 3 weeks. However, today Apple mail is garbling email messages and Safari is not rendering web pages correctly? I tried rebooting, shutting down my router, everything, still there.
Strangely, Chrome is rendering the pages without any issues.
What possibly could be wrong? Does anyone else have this issue?
Any help is appreciated.

I fixed my issue, here is what I did:
1. Delete Safari
2. Downloaded it and re-installed.
3. Did the same for Google Chrome which was crashing on adobe flash consistently.
4. All better now for Apple Mail, Safari, and Chrome.
Somehow some Safari file must have gotten corrupted.

Workflow Builder launching error from PFTC transaction.

Hi
MY PROBLEM:
I am getting an error message when I click on the WORKFLOW BUILDER button from the PFTC transaction to go into the workflow definition screen. When I click the WORKFLOW BUILDER button the system throws the error and it remains on the same screen and does not take me to the workflow builder screen.
I am getting the following error message. Any idea what I need to do to avoid seeing this error message.
Line/object not integrated in navigation.
Message no. 5W010
ALTERNATIVE OPTION:
However I am able to go to the workflow builder screen from the menu GOTO > WORKFLOW BUILDER> CURRENT VERSION(F7).
Any idea why I am facing this problem. Is there anything I need to activate in my system?
I am on ECC 5.0 - IDES SYSTEM.
Cheers
Chky

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I am using a IDES system. I looked into OSS note for this issue but could not find any relevant notes for this.
I will search once again.

My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
"–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
–í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

It looks like an encoding problem. You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

Cursor displays weird characters

Turned on my 2008 Mac Pro the other day to have these weird characters following my cursor around:
Mac Pro 3,1 Quad-Core 2.8GHz; 10 GB RAM; ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I have 3 1TB internal drives, 1=Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 2=Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 3=Windows7
The problem first occurred under Snow Leopard. I rebooted under Mountain Lion and had the same thing.
No cursor problem when booting up under Windows7.
I reinstalled the driver for my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 but that changed nothing.
The Mountain Lion drive was originally a clone of the Snow Leopard drive (used as backup) before upgrading to ML... so thinking it may have been something duplicated from my SL drive (main drive) I wiped the Mountain Lion drive, installed ML (clean - and none of my apps or files) and the cursor problem was gone. Re-booted in SL and problem was there... re-booted in clean ML and problem back.
Also still have problem if booting up SL in Safe Mode.
Any ideas? I hate the thought of wiping drives, installing clean, and loading apps and files manually...
Thanks for any help.
-Dave

Sadly no.
I haven't taken my Mac in to the Apple Store yet either. Since November the weird text has gone from the one line, to two lines, back to one... and currently at two.
My hope is graphics card (I've also seen comments elsewhere suggesting logic board - yuk). But only a Genius will know for certain.

Information on Globalization of Workflow Builder GUI

I am trying to determine if the Oracle Workflow builder application can display non-English characters in its menus, labels, dialogs, etc. Is there central site that describes the level of internationalization for this and other Oracle products? I have already looked in the "Products > Database > Oracle Workflow" forum and post a request there. Any point of contact would be helpful. Thank You.

Hi Srinivas,
Firstly when you create the container element for the task set is as an import parameter ( Double click on the container element-> Properties (Tab)-> Import(Field) ). Save the task. In SWDD select the activity. Put in the task and Click on Binding button. You will get a pop up showing all the workflow elements and the task elements. Map the workflow element to the task element here. Save and activate the workflow.
In SWO1 open the method for the business object. Click on parameters button and add an import parameter of the same data type as the task container element. In the program add the following code:
Data: newvariable type datatype
swc_get_element container 'NEWVARIABLE' newvariable.
Open the task definition and click on method binding. Map the task container element to the method input parameter.
After these steps you should be able to use the new variable in your code.

Bhooma

Weird characters in search highlight

I tried using Calvin Ly's search highlight technique. It
works fine for a while and then mu users get weird little square
characters displaying in bulleted lists in their browsers. Has
anyone else experienced this problem? Know of a fix? If I do not
use the search highlight (just plain search) I don't have this
problem.
RH HTML X5
Thanks in advance.

As a matter of fact, I ran into this sitation yesterday (a
tiny square box above all list items).
I did the only thing that occurred to me: I deleted six image
map hyperlinks on a workflow graphic, and then re-created them.
All fixed! I have no idea if this'll help you or not.
Good luck,
Leon

Weird characters in Ultrabeat

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I've recently started to get some weird characters when opening an Ultrabeat instrument (see attached screenshots).

/Users/neilmorgan/Desktop/Screen shot 2010-12-27 at 16.54.56.png
They're different each time and they seem not to affect the sound, but does anyone have any ideas of how to rid my system of them?

For instance, did you mean something like this:
https://skitch.com/yorick75/rx46f/characters
I've been getting those kind of 'weird characters' in the Ultrabeat pattern menu as well, but only recently. If that is the same case as yours, yes, it doesn't affect the sound or functionality of anything in Ultrabeat; however, it is annoying and a bit confusing when you want to choose a sample pattern or if you want to create a new one because the whole menu window looks 'jumbled up' with those odd characters. I have no idea what causes the display of these 'weird characters'. I would like to know if there's some way to fix this. Hopefully someone else has come upon this and might read this post too. By the way, in my case, this happens in Logic 8. So I don't know if anyone using Logic 9 has encountered a similar problem.

Dialog title shows weird characters when losing focus

Hi all,
a localized application with two configured languages has problems with the title of a modal dialog. Opening the dialog works fine, the text is displayed properly. After klicking into the main screen (so the modal dialog loses the focus), some weird characters are displayed in the title (looks chinese). The buttons that are localized with the same resourcebundle stay normal. Does anybody know this problem?
Regards, Robert4

More information:
This problem does not occur at all workstations. Some do not have this problem at all. But it's all on Windows XP SP 1.
Maybe a threading problem? I cannot imagine.........

Error when displaying a field on Screen with Table Control

Hi,
It is going to 'Dump' when I am trying to display data on the screen with the help of Table Control. From the dump, What I have observed is , there is a field 'ZTSV_FSRDATA-ANZFEHLER'. If this field has negative value, then it is going to 'Dump' saying that the length is not enough. If it has a positive value then it is working fine. But the type of the field in the Internal table & on the screen are same.
Please help me to resolve this error.
I am posting here the Dump message also:
A conversion error occurred while the program was trying todisplay data on the screen.
The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the same format.
Some field types require more characters on the screen thanin the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needstwo characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the error message.
Thanks,
Sreenivas Reddy Maddi.
